Justice underpins our freedoms, our economy, and our civic life. Yet our systems are under pressure; underfunded, overstretched, and outdated. The Justice for All Series provides a platform to confront this reality with honesty and ambition.
Conceived by Alderman Robert Hughes-Penney, Sheriff of the City of London (2025–26), and hosted at the Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey), I am proud to be supporting the Sheriff in curating and delivering this five-part series which brings together those in a position to ask hard questions – and propose evidence-based solutions.
Held in the Great Hall of the Old Bailey, one of the most significant civic spaces in the United Kingdom, the Justice for All series brings together a group of decision-makers, practitioners, and contributors from the legal, political, corporate, academic, and voluntary sectors. These evening sessions are designed not as traditional conferences, but as high-level forums for practical dialogue, reflection, and commitment to change.
Framed around the anniversaries of Magna Carta (1225) and UN Sustainable Development Goal 16, the series does not seek consensus, but clarity: What does a just society require today? Who must act? And what will it cost us if we do not?
